Did you know? “Recycle” and “Upcycle” aren’t the same thing! Let’s break it down 

When we talk about saving the planet, most people think of recycling. But there’s actually another eco-friendly approach that goes even further — and that’s #Upcycling!

What is Recycling?
It means taking old waste materials and processing them through machines — melting, shredding, or breaking them down so they can be turned into something new.
But here’s the catch: it still uses quite a lot of energy, and the material quality often drops a bit after processing.
Example: Melting plastic bottles into plastic pellets to create new products.

What is Upcycling?
This is the cool one! Upcycling means taking waste or leftover materials and redesigning or transforming them into something more stylish, valuable, and unique — without using high-energy processing.
Example: Turning old truck tarps into trendy fashion bags.

In short:
If you want to save the planet and add value to waste while getting a one-of-a-kind item, choose upcycled products! You’re supporting creativity and sustainability at the same time. ????
